I Do not recommend this attorney!

She had my case for several years and did absolutely nothing on it! No updates,( because she didn’t do anything on the case) wouldn’t return my calls, very unprofessional . Ended up dropping the case because she was a terrible Attorney. Do not recommend her at all!

Unreliable Attorney

I hired Lynn for a post-divorce matter. She failed to do her job. In the end, I refused to pay my $8500 bill and filed a complaint with the Missouri Bar Association. Lynn failed to respond to the bar correspondence about my complain. She also failed to appear at the Missouri Bar mediation schedu...led for my complaint. The bar found in my favor and I did not have to pay. I would never recommend Lynn. She did not follow through, did not keep appointments, and was unprepared. I question her integrity. During the process, I inquired about a hearing that was scheduled for my case -- Lyn said there was no hearing. Then, on the day of the hearing, Lynn called me from the court room - and said yes there was a hearing and I needed to be there immediately! She is disorganized to say the least!

Absolutely Horrible!!!

DO NOT HIRE!!!! I hired her off of a friend's recommendation about 3 years ago. She sent me an abundance of papers through the mail. I think it was in order to charge me even more than I should have been!!! She and her paralegal were the worst at returning phone calls! I had to proof EVERYTHING bec...ause spelling was bad and sometimes the content didn't even make sense!!! When it came time for court, she no-showed...TWICE!!! When she did show up the ONE time, she had my case confused with someone else's during questioning! She lost credibility with the judge, as well as with me. I did not win, nor loose. No change in custody was awarded, which was what I asked for. The Judge went against the recommendation of my child's counselor AND the GAL. I truly believe it was due to Mrs. Johnson's incompetence in my case. I only received child support, which I would have received even if I didn't have a lawyer. She charged me over $10,000 for one court hearing (which only lasted 2 hours) and A LOT of mail!!!!
